    I’d go for the canadian model with the crushing hands, personally.

    I must say, though, that the bipedalism always seemed like a serious design flaw — because the enemy fighters just throw that grappling hook and wind that line around the legs — and down you go.

    yeah, and it can’t go down stairs either. Unless they’ve improved on the Veerhoven model (I’d buy that for $43,500 AU!)

    I could do without a mech. I’d take an ASIMO to carry me around the house.

    dude, you’d have to be tiny! maybe 4 Asimos could carry you in a palanquin.

    (I’d rather have a dogsled pulled by a team of 12 Aibos)

    Well, I mean a really strong ASIMO to take care of me, like that handicapped dude in Clockwork Orange… but yeah, 4 ASIMOS would be cool, and I’ll refer to them as my children.
